34th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf

La 34ème édition de l’Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf se tiendra au Royaume-Uni en juillet l’an prochain, avec pour thème « Woolf and Dissidence ». Veuillez trouver ci-dessous la présentation des organisatrices ainsi que l’appel à contributions.

We are delighted to bring the Annual International Virginia Woolf Conference back to the UK and to two sites – King’s College London and the University of Sussex – with such strong Woolfian connections. The pre-conference events will be held at King’s College London on Friday July 4th 2025: a visit to the King’s Archives and a panel discussion on ‘Virginia Woolf: Creative Engagements’ with contemporary writers and artists speaking about their multi-media engagements with Woolf’s writing.

On Saturday July 5th 2025 the conference proper will open for registration at the University of Sussex. We are planning an exciting array of keynote lectures, performances, workshops and other featured events to mark the centenary of Mrs Dalloway, but a highlight will be our conference dinner and house tour at Charleston.

To find the call for papers, panels, roundtables, exhibits and other proposals, and to submit a proposal, please visit our website, featuring artwork by our conference artist, A. T. Kabe Wilson. More details will be announced in the coming weeks and months.

We especially welcome proposals exploring the theme of dissidence across the work of Woolf and her modernist contemporaries. If you would like to discuss an idea with us or ask any questions, please do get in touch at virginiawoolf2025@gmail.com.
